Heng Yan was a legendary controller in the league's competitive history, holding the most extreme records for both brilliant plays and disastrous blunders.

Search her name on a video site, and the top result would be:

[Incredible! God Yan's S-tier stroke of genius blows up the grand finals]

The next result would be:

[Hilarious! Heng Yan's comical footwork lets four survivors escape again. Scrub, hurry up and retire]

When Heng Yan competed, she didn't choose the strategy with the highest win rate or the safest one. She chose whichever would draw the biggest audience.

Finally, after yet another grand final that sent her fans on a roller coaster and left them wishing they were dead, Heng Yan got blackout drunk at a bar. A falling chandelier hit her square on the head, killing her on the spot and bringing her wicked life to an end.

God said that if Heng Yan sincerely repented, she could have one chance to be reborn as an Alpha. From then on, she would devote herself to doing good, swear never to recklessly show off again, play her role properly, cleanse the community, and rebuild...

Heng Yan: “Wait... reborn as what?”

Heng Yan was reborn as an obscure youth trainee, with a special secondary gender: Alpha.

At first, Heng Yan didn't think anything had changed. She focused on starting over and being a better person. When she got a chance to play, she dazzled the whole arena and fought her way onto a top team, earning a spot in the starting lineup.

Her new life was going great, and her new team was pretty good too, except for the team's quiet controller, who always looked at her strangely.

Bian Yun was the team's starting survivor and a well-known player in the region. She was tough and taciturn, as cool as the moon atop a mountain. In all the time since Heng Yan joined the team, she had barely exchanged a word with her.

But even the moon isn't always up in the sky...

The day of a match, Bian Yun was nowhere to be seen as departure time drew near. Heng Yan went to her room to call her. The moment she pushed the door open, the cloyingly sweet scent of pheromones hit her so hard she nearly blacked out. Bian Yun was an Omega.

Even the coldest Omega runs hot during heat.

Heng Yan stared blankly at Bian Yun struggling on the bed. Suddenly, she realized there was something even more intoxicating and blood-pumping than pulling off extreme plays in a life-or-death match.

She walked over to the bed and watched as the crimson tide swallowed the moon she'd known. She smiled.

“So you're sweet lychee flavored.”

To keep her starting spot, Bian Yun had taken unapproved suppressants for years to delay her heats. She never expected the backlash to hit so hard when it finally came.

And the team's arrogant loudmouth had walked in on her.

One tangled encounter left her surrendering even as she remained clearheaded.

Later, to keep her hormones stable, Bian Yun had no choice but to turn to Heng Yan again and again. Even Bian Yun couldn't tell whether her feelings were real or not.

Right before a match, the aloof beauty pulled Heng Yan into an empty storeroom. Gritting her teeth, she bared the pale nape of her neck.

“Could you... bite me once before we go on?”

1. Identity V is just the game's setting, and differs greatly from the real-world background. There isn't much about the matches (and I haven't written them professionally, either), so you can still follow along even if you haven't played.

2. Younger Alpha. She looks down on everyone equally, shameless and imperfect, but she'll grow.

3. This is a product of me letting loose. The match scenes aren't professionally written, so just have fun with them!
